Some of the Baguio attractions ideal for a 2 days/1 night tour in Baguio.

Readers who are interested with Baguio itineraries have started sending me
e-mails asking how to make a doable itinerary since last year. I answer them
through e-mail but they suggest me to make a post about it. Since I live in
Baguio and I know more about this place than any other cities in the country
and I usually grant my readers’ simple wishes, here is a sample itinerary for
two days and one night in Baguio.

The Baguio Itinerary
Series

I do not usually post itineraries with time elapse. It is because
travelers and tourists like you decide on how long or how quick you will visit
a certain tourist spot in Baguio. This is a mere suggestion you can follow,
which we already did as travelers behind Travex Travels. The itineraries are
made for groups who travel to Baguio.

Reach McDo Session at the lower Session Road, turn left to
Mabini Street (marker is Danes Bakeshop) and look for the jeepney terminal
with jeepneys going to Mines View Park UPDATE: Mcdo in Lower Session Rd is now Jollibee.

Ride and tell driver to “Mines View Park”. Fare is “long
trip”.

10.00

Mines View – Ketchup
Community Series

Arrive in Mines View Park for some photo ops with horses,
the view deck and big dogs. No entrance fee but there is charge for photo ops
with the animals.

50.00

Try some strawberry taho (to be posted soon).

20.00

Check out souvenir shops.

Then ride same jeepney (going back to downtown), tell the
driver to drop you off to The Mansion.

8.50

Photo ops “The Mansion”. Walk to the side of the mirror
lake until you reach the gazebo. By this time you are already in the Wright
Park.

Picture taking with the horses or ride the horse (for
P200).

Lunch time in Ketchup Community. By this time it’s already
noon. If you are on a budget you can get back to town and eat in cafeterias
or fast food restaurants.

AFTERNOON CHOICES

EXPENSE (estimate only)

AFTERNOON

From Ketchup Community, you may want take a rest for a
while and continue it later.

The Botanical Garden –
Haunted White House Walk Tour

From Wright Park, head to Leonard Wood Road passing
through Pacdal Circle. Walk until you reach the Botanical Garden.

From Ketchup Community, you may want take a rest for a
while and continue it later.

The Camp John Hay Tour
and Adventure

From Wright Park, you can turn left going to The Baguio Country Club and finally Camp John Hay. You can take photos of the wide green
fields there. But if you are already tired, you can take a cab to take you to
the following:

Tree Top Adventure

Butterfly Sanctuary

Ayala Techno-Hub

Paint Ball area

500.00 (Tree Top)

40.00 (Sanctuary)

400.00 (Paint Ball)

You can also check out there Cemetery of Negativity (where
you bury your negative mind setting and being there).

Camp John Hay is too wide for you to explore so I suggest
you to take rest or dinner after Camp John Hay tour.

Or you can try the Burnham
Stroll and Boat Tour on #1 suggestion (previous).

#3 (or DAY 2 Morning)

ACTIVITY

INDIVIDUAL
EXPENSE (estimate only)

AFTERNOON

From Ketchup Community, you may want take a rest for a
while and continue it later.

On going back, you ride same jeepney (Dominican Hill) back
to downtown. Near the Abanao Square, the terminal of Jeepney going to
Tam-Awan Village is at Shagum St cor. Kayang. Signboard says “Quirino Hill”
or “Quirino Hill via Tam-Awan”. You can also ride jeepney going to
“Long-Long”.

8.50

Walk a bit to Tam-Awan Village (driver will instruct you).

8.50

Photo ops inside Tam-Awan Village. It’s another hiking
thing so you have to prepare for this. Picture taking of the different
artworks is strictly prohibited.

50.00

On going back, ride the same jeepney going back to
downtown. You can either go for The Burnham Stroll and Boat Tour or just take
a rest.

ACTIVITY

INDIVIDUAL
EXPENSE (estimate only)

EVENING

You can go for dinner, check out my suggestion of
restaurants on #1 afternoon table.

Wait for the Night Market to open along Harrison Road.
Night Market opens at 9PM.

100.00

Ukay-ukay to the max (second-hand goods and thrift goods
market). This is where you can buy jackets, hoodies, pants, shirts, bags and
more…at the cheapest bargain!

After the Night Market, you can try café or night bars
(with or without dance floor). Paddis Point and 18 BC are night bars.

*I do not recommend strolling and walking along the city
streets at night. Take a cab on going back to your hotel.

I will not present the total expenses because that will really depend on
how you handle your own trip. I presented only the estimate of cost you will
incur on that particular tourist spot or activity so you get a better picture
of how much money to bring when you are here.

I really recommend you to visit Mines View Park in the morning and the
rest in the afternoon. You can only choose one of the following afternoon
itineraries. These itineraries were made for travelers who budget time with
parts of it used for picture taking and jump shots.

On your second day, you can use #3 afternoon itinerary as a morning
itinerary. All the tourist spots are good for 2-day tour, but it is still more
advisable to lengthen your time to enjoy the cool winds and the parks, rather than
jamming your itineraries with too many activities in it. An example of this is
you can make the #3 afternoon tour into a whole day tour—putting the Tam-Awan
Village tour in the afternoon. The ones I presented is already jam-packed and
it is not recommended to include more activities. You don’t want to get sick in
your trip, do you?

This two-day, one-night itinerary for Baguio is
doable as long as you have the energy to hike and walk, but during summer I do
not recommend you to superficially walk your way from Mines View to Camp John
Hay, it is super exhausting. In short, 2D/1N tour in Baguio is not enough for
you to visit all the tourist spots here.

This has been very helpful. Thank you so much. My boyfriend and I are planning on a Baguio trip next week and this is by far the most informative itinerary that I've come across with. We are just afraid (scardy cats) of getting lost but behold, we shall not be because of your guidance. hehe

Hi,Thank you for this. I think we'll follow this itinerary. I'm visiting Baguio with my bestfriend next month.If not too much, can you recommend a hotel to stay? Looking for a place that has low rate and safe. Please send me an email: aracigleona@gmail.com or reply here. Thank you in advance! :)

Dear Traveler,Good day, magandang araw, bon jour. I know you want to travel to the Philippines. Do you prefer cool winds in Baguio or beaches in Western Pangasinan? Or somewhere in Luzon like Subic-Clark-Tarlac? Or right away in Manila? Cebu in Central Philippines is also a good choice.
